crux has its fair share of downsides, and you should consider them.

* 100% source based
* light dependency handling (eg, you can't uninstall dependencie)
* small port base, meaning you'll have to port many softs by yourself
* sparse documentation
* system V init

Don't worry, there are good points too:

* simple package format
* easily swappable component (eg, init, device manager, ...)
* knowledgeable user base

Its simplicity is its best feature!
